ecstatic!

I made a 90 on my first pharmacology exam! I could just jump over the moon :) I walked out of that test praying for an 80, really expecting a C. I couldn't be happier. Thank you Jesus! Wednesday is my first 1901 test. That's going to be scary. I made an 85 on the pretest and I am hoping for the same on the real one! I pray that I will continue to be able to pass these tests. I'm not a very good test taker. Because of this, I know that it is God who is helping me through all of this stress. I can't really take any credit for any of this. If it weren't for Him, I wouldn't even be in this program. It's super encouraging having a friend to do it with. I sure do love csm. She's a pretty great friend. It's been such an encouragement for us to also make friends in the program. God's sovereignty is all over this, man. I'm thankful for the friendships that I am building and pray that our conversations are glorifying to Him. He is so faithful. 

I've joined Court in her small group with four 10th grade girls. We met last night. I love it SO stinkin' much. It's so sweet hearing their hearts. I love that some of them are completely (well, not completely) honest about their walk with Christ. They are such a wonderful addition to my life. 

Tonight, I am going with my parents to spend time with Mindy and Baby Ruth (boof). Any day that includes boof is a good one!! She is so sweet. It's crazy to think of how long I have begged and prayed for her. I didn't even realize it until after she was finally here. Mindy has become such a great friend, and I am so happy she lets me be a part of boof's life! 

Also, for any of you out there reading this, I'm looking for some board shorts. Girl Board Shorts. Girl board shorts that are not $50. Cute ones that are almost to the knee. I think they are impossible to find. I finallyyyyyy found a website that has some for $29. That's not an awful price as long as i love them. Maybe I will order and see. But if any of you have any suggestions, let me know for realllll!

Aubrey (sweetest 6 year old you will ever meet...I've kept her since she was about 9 months old...she's pretty much a "niece" type deal) has been begging me to let her spend the night with me. I think I may be letting her this Saturday night. She finally weighs enough to only have to use a booster seat in the car. haha. I think this will probably be something to blog about. I love her so much. It's bound to be one of the greatest nights of my life. 

I'm going to start hang drying some of my clothes. Especially my jeans. There are clothes hanging all over my room. It looks so funny in here. 

I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS SUMMER. except for the part of leaving my home for 3 months for the first time ever. that will be scary. my mom is already having panic attacks once a day... haha!

the end.

When I should be sleeping

I have to wake up in 5 hours to get ready to go to work. I should totally be asleep, but my heart is full and my mind is racing. I love that my heart is full, but I could really do without the jumbles of thoughts in my head at the moment. I'm not sure I could quite describe fully the last six months of my life in less than a few days. It is so wonderful to see God at work in my life so visibly. It's amazing to see his response to so many people's prayers, even the ones that I didn't even know were praying for me. It's weird to think about my reactions to these changes. Of course, it is hard to think of the situations that I have handled poorly, but it is really even more humbling to think of the ones that Christ has handled for me. I look back now with so much gratitude to the Holy Spirit for intervening on all of the words that my flesh would have said and my mind would have thought in certain situations. Because right now, the flesh is trying to intervene.


I have never been more thankful for the women of God that He has put in my life....ladies such as my Mom, Courtlynd Moore, Trish Cobb, Melinda Blodgett, Rachel Brewer, Lauren Vinson, Jen McCloud, Amy Wallace and Lydia Whitworth just to name a few, even Michele and Jill, that I have just recently gotten to know! The ones that have truly taught me more about being a woman of God and held my hand while I dealt with having to display Christ in my actions "more than usual." I thank HIM for these ladies and the happiness they bring me. I don't think i could ever do an adequate job of expressing my love for them. They are a tremendous blessing in my life. 


I'm beginning to get sleepy again. I planned to go on longer, but I've said enough.  


Jesus, mold me. My hope is in Your return.

Resucued.

I'm starting over on this here blog. Although, I am in nursing school now and will NEVER have time to write down my thoughts. When I do have the time, maybe I'll share some things. Christ is alive and just putting on a little dance in my life. I couldn't be happier for the mercy and grace that he has shown me. He is SOVEREIGN. I am so happy that I am not God, because obviously I'd be awful at it. 


So here it is. Jessica Booher. Loving life. Rescued. Nursing Student. Sovereign Hope Church. Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters. My life has never changed so much. Thank you, Jesus, for changing my life.
